Other than the name, this just seems like culture shock. The lighting is weird because they bought the bulbs at a store you never knew existed. The smell is some cleaning product, perfume, or spice you've just never smelled before. The music is just foreign music in a genre you've never even heard of, and there are a few thousand languages on this planet, so it's no wonder you've never heard this one. The employees are all stressed because everyone is stressed right now... or maybe they have different traditions around hospitality? Regardless, all this is pointing to their food being amazing (and even if it isn't, you have a great story).
A restaurant named You're Not Supposed To Be Here, where the whole point is that the vibes are unnerving. The lighting is weird, the whole place has a faint scent that's not a bad smell, but it's certainly not food smell and you can't quite identify what the hell it is. The music is weirdly janky and you can't quite tell what's wrong with it, the vocals aren't exactly garbled but sung in a language you swear you've never heard anywhere and couldn't name if you tried. Only hiring staff who have anxiety and they're 100% permitted to show how much your presence here stresses them out.
that sounds like a challenge to me
I’m just going to leave this here…
So I was in stats and there was a word problem where the teacher was the boss and liked to get wages out of a random number generator (bad idea) and some of the possible wages were obvious poverty wages ($1, $5 per hour) which we joked about. Over half the wages (taking up almost all the staff) were illegal. Next class was about giving them a raise. We could choose two options: up every wage by $10 per hour (removing the starvation wages) or double every wage (keeping $2 an hour a possibility). Apparently "you should pick the first option if you are in the lower half and pick the second one if you are in the upper half." wtf I don't want blood on my hands??? She said I was being "really nice" which is cool but it's not much to not want families to starve/go homeless???
important issue: tw/cw function to block ads on social media??? gore, starvation, disease, animal abuse, etc. are all COMMON images/posts on my feeds. Yes, I am politically active, but I do not want horrific content on my socials when I am not specifically looking for it. If I have to see one more puppy in distress in a cage while looking through wholesome memes...
l am writing differentIy - can you teII what l am doing? lt might be hard to teII from just Iooking. lf you put this in a word processor and change the font a bit, you wiII discover the truth.
this is a screenshot from game of sultans if anyone cares and this is why i play mobile games
That near-meltdown point when you feel like you can kinda control it and you ask yourself "am i here to make a scene or am i here to silently die inside"
crash
whenever I finish a book (without a movie adaptation or with unpopular movie adaptations) for school I look it up on ao3 and get disappointed
but I also lack the executive function and time to write a fic, especially after having to write an essay
with all the writing students have to do, at least some of it should contribute to the enjoyment of literature among future students
tldr: please just assign us to create a fandom
